SCIS Overview
The Semiconductor Components, Instruments, and Subsystems (SCIS) Technology Community represents companies that produce, package and/or distribute any of the following used in semiconductor or related industries:
- Components such as seals, filters, mass flow controllers, valves, sensors, ion beam sources, etc.
- Instruments for in-line and off-line data measurement, collection, and monitoring
- Sub-systems that support process tools e.g. vacuum, robotics, power conversion, abatement, chillers, etc.
Focus: Establishing a baseline for measuring defects introduced by process-critical components
- Particle or defect limits will not be defined, but will focus on defining consistent methodologies for measuring defects
SCIS provides a forum that fosters discussion and aligns stakeholders on pre-competitive industry-critical issues.
